NIMR / MRC in bid to knock down council estates to make way for vast site.

The NIMR / MRC /Wellcome Trust / Cancer Research intend to have Regents Park Estate and Somers Town estates - both council estates to be partially demolished to make way for a vast international science site.

A source from British Land has revealed plans for two council estates to be knocked down to make way for the NIMR /MRC etc and the University College London [whose science dept is run by HLS customers!] to run a vast international science site.
Camden council has closed down homeless hostels and many homeless ahve been pushed out of the area. Many of the people living on these estates don't realise what is going to happen. The NIMR have bought premises and land on Hampstead Road [between two council estates] and are bidding for land at Kings Cross.

Not on this scale, but it is happening in Farnborough too.

Almost ten years ago, KPI (a front company for property developer St Modwen) bought Farnborough town centre.

All small retailers have been driven out, half the town centre has now been demolished, three people almost killed). To be repalced by a large supersmarket facing out of the town.

A small housing estate, social housing, to be destroyed to make way for a car park for the supermarket.

Locals were kicked out of flats 'for redecoration' then spend years in hostels in Kings X.

It's happening all over the place .

KPI is a Kuwaiti company. St Modwens ( archway,elephant,edmonton etc.)

Saturday December 1st - We can't afford the rich, the corporates, the property developers and speculating scum, the MPs, the councillors in their pockets. Against regenicide.

Homes for people not profit.

Closing down the neighbourhood advice centre to open a community pig centre. Regular fraud in Camden council. overpaiud Mps. Dame Janes 12K shindig etc etc. , harrassment of DCH. Increased division of wealth. Destruction of communities creates more violence and alienation.

High Street Anwyhere? Look what happened to Notting Hill. Look what happened to Brixton. etc etc ( add your city/town./village here ). Shipped out to the estates in the middle of nowhere. Blackbird Leys or from the East End to Harlow Newtown?

Next up water meters in your house and your bills even higher. See S Africa or Bolivia ( ongoing ) for details. same cunts testing it out on the super-poor before bringing it home. Yep Thatcher,her advisers and the IMF/World bank started this game off in Brazil off all places. Couldn't chance it kicking off again? A little con job with the council selloff?

The question is with the next bank run and crash whom will end up owning all this property? Gobbbled up by the corporates propped up by a little bank/government money 'making'?

If you don't get out on the streets in numbers while you still have a chance then you are goiing to be royally shafted ( as will your kids )
